Dev Tycoon - Idle Games

Really fun game! There is a curve in learning what to do and when to do especially in what games you make. You also have to remeber about your employees because they really do make a difference. I wish you could make sequels and while I know the game follows a realistic path with the consoles that come out I wish that there were more after the PS5 and Xbox series x(I'm only in 2023 so there might be).

Overall it's a fun game but it has some issues that keep it from being even better. The interface is wierd in places. Tapping to upgrade a skill or make a purchase can require multiple taps before it registers and tapping in the same place doesn't work every time. Also, the game doesn't explain everything super well. No real explanation of how workers affect the game making process. The hints aren't clear as to how they should be interpreted. It's enjoyable but could be better.

The gameplay is a simpler version of the first DevTycoon. It's fun, experimental, and easy to grasp without much of a tutorial. That being said, there's some shortcuts taken. Development isn't too complex, yet at the same time there's no explanation given on the extra step for AAA development. Late game costs (licenses) are negligibly cheap. Numbers are difficult to determine with such small font. But, I spent $2 for no ads and that's it. Game is a great buy for what you get.

As soon as i started playing i loved the game, if you don't have much to do and want time to pass fast download this. I wish it was easier to use research points, i know you can hold the button to upgrade it fast but it's hard to do so since the tabs move without you wanting to, it's too sensitive and it keeps swiping up and down before being able to use the desired points

Very fun. The music and sounds are excellent. Grammar in the tutorial is kind of sloppy. Little amounts of ads. Perfect apart from the bad English. I suggest that the words get smaller and everything gets a bit more organized. Sometimes the sliders for your engine, graphics, sound, ai, and all that doesn't work. Other than that, the game is really good!

Great game, thank you for hours of fun! With that said it's not a perfect game, there are a few bugs , most notably the top 10 games list. After the initial 10 game releases it seems it won't update the list. (From indie to aaa games) along with a few other bugs. Also I would like to see a bit more customization for my home. Maybe have wall, counters, and other options can be implemented? But besides that great game!

Edit: Aug 3rd 2021: Made it to level 50, needs more depth. Very repetitive now. So far I haven't encountered any bugs, the tutorial is short but gives you enough of an understanding to get going. Kinda refreshing from games that hold your hand and show you every aspect in detail. It's not hard to figure out, it just requires a modicum of common sense.

Progression through this game, and many similar ones, is dumbed down to "Earn money > upgrade something > earn more money" and I think the linear upgrade thing is the main issue. I would love to see a game where you can purchase different components and configure them in different ways to achieve different effects. Instead of just putting the most expensive stuff into my game engine I want to have to actually think about what I put in and what I leave out based on what I need it to do.

Entertaining in some places, but it's annoying, tedious, and unrealistic everywhere else. I have 2 major reasons for feeling this way. 1. The hacker minigame appears WAY too often. 2. It's too hard to get research points, when you do get you will most likely end up spending them on a singular over priced upgrade. 3. The sales aspect of the game is very strange and wonky. 4. Name is very similar to Game Dev Tycoon which is a better game by a different developer. Comes off as misleading.

Pretty good. It's fun at first, as you try to grind out games as a side job before being able to transition full time. The mid-game is fun as you start to unlock better equipment and items. The end game dries out though, as the mechanics of making good AAA games aren't explained clearly or developed thoroughly. Eventually you end up just grinding out seemingly random quality games until you get to upgrade the look of your studio. This game is good but really leaves you wishing for more.
